![]() I can't remember the exact dates for all the sagas, but there was a really long wait for new episodes after the episode were Trunks tells Goku about the Androids (episode 107) which first aired around autumn 2000. It first aired on Cartoon Network UK on March 5th 2000. There must have been a lot more reruns than I remember because I think DBZ went on for about five years here before we reached GT. I'm wondering what memories other people have of this, and if anyone actually has a record of on which dates new episodes aired here, the schedule so to speak. Really though, this was great because it kept the suspense going for years, and it's always different watching for example the Saiyan arc once you've seen the later changes in Vegeta's character. On more than one occasion I'd come home thinking "today's the day we get a new episode!" and meet my old friend, Farmer with Shotgun. Since we had no spoilers apart from one magazine that had some character profiles for Buu arc characters who hadn't appeared yet, when it came to the android and puppy cliffhangers, I remember counting down to the new episodes while watching the repeats to find out what happened next. I'm pretty sure there were other points in the series too where one day we'd come home from school and be presented with the first episode of the Saiyan arc, but these ones stuck in my head as (I think) the first time it happened, and pretty major cliffhangers. ![]() ![]() I remember the series repeatedly skipping back to the beginning of Z after Freeza's second transformation, after Trunks' warned Goku about the androids, and after Buu's puppy got killed. ![]() There'd be an episode on at 5pm each weekday, but despite that amounting to 260 episodes a year, DBZ lasted pretty much my whole way through primary school because we kept having to wait for new episodes, though my friendship group would always watch every day even when watching repeats for the nth time. My first experience of Dragon Ball was watching Dragon Ball Z on Cartoon Network in the UK. ![]()
